Zack Gelof News
Oakland Athletics infielder Zack Gelof (undisclosed) has been scratched ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. It's unclear why the A's pulled Gelof out of the lineup. The hope is that it's a minor issue and he'll be back in the lineup soon. In the meantime, Abraham Toro will cover third base and bat sixth on Wednesday. The A's should give an update on his status shortly.
Oakland Athletics infielder Zack Gelof came up clutch for the team during Monday's game against the New York Yankees. The young infielder broke a scoreless tie with a go-ahead two-run home run in the ninth inning. This was the first time that Gelof had recorded an RBI since April 10. The A's recently dropped Gelof to the sixth-hole, which shouldn't be surprising given how much he has struggled. Most fantasy managers can stay away given his current .205/.271/.352 slash line.
Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof had himself quite the day in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers. He racked up four hits with a triple and a three-run home run off of Detroit Tigers starter Jack Flaherty. He also had three runs and four RBI on the day. This game was finally Gelof's first good game of the season. Overall, he is slashing .243/.349/.432 with a home run, four RBI, eight runs, and two stolen bases over 10 games in 2024. Gelof was a popular breakout candidate before the season started, and his extensive performance on Sunday shows why. Look for Gelof to build off Sunday's performance, and fantasy managers should continue to start him in all leagues.

An unexpected bright spot on an abysmal 2023 Oakland Athletics roster was second baseman Zack Gelof. Promoted during the All-Star break, the rookie put the league on notice, hitting .305/.373/.617 with nine home runs, 17 RBI, 23 runs, and eight stolen bases in his first 33 games. His pace slowed over the rest of the season, ending the year with a line of .267/.337/.504, 14 home runs, 32 RBI, 40 runs, and 14 stolen bases through 69 games. Despite a short and uneven first season, Gelof's speed and power were apparent with a 29 ft/sec sprint speed (91st percentile), .424 xwOBAcon, and a .448 xSLG. However, the second baseman overperformed offensively in 2023, with his .333 xwOBA falling below his actual results. For the 24-year-old to reach the next level, he must improve on an abysmal 33.7% whiff rate -- especially when faced with non-fastball pitches (44.4% whiff rate on breaking pitches, 36.8% on offspeed). There is tremendous upside to Gelof's 135 ADP because of his speed, power, and everyday role, but his contact issues and dysfunctional environment are serious risks.
